This robust, auburn-hued panel dublin shows its best, unsurprisingly, in profile. Yet, it's not just the beautiful grain on display there to which I am referring. No, it is the shaping itself, as well, for in profile the gradual fanning of the panels from a narrow, wasp-waisted transition takes on an abstractly floral aspect. Then again, the smoker's view is no slouch either, offering up the plentiful birdseye which adorns the expanse of the slightly convex rim.
